What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Served at the time you choose
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
